The essential, inspiring resource for all digital photographers shooting in monochrome.
This book is, quite simply, the essential resource for any photographer shooting monochrome in the digital age. Written by NAPP guru award winner and professional photographer Leslie Alsheimer, with the help of Adobe's own Bryan O'Neil Hughes, Photoshop product manager and Lightroom evangelist, this great book takes a head-on professional approach to black and white photography within a Photoshop/Lightroom workflow. Every stage of the black and white process is covered, from capture and import right through to printing, with in-depth explanations of key areas such as color management, optimising workspace, capture and conversion, evaluating histograms, making global adjustments, non-destructive editing, softproofing and calibration (both onscreen and for output). Furthermore, the book offers guidance without being prescriptive: the authors recognise the need for a flexible workflow that varies depending on the image, and offer advice on dealing with diverse scenarios.
